2 Memory Sticks vs Memory Kit

I need to upgrade the DDR4 on my Gaming Laptop ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232770 i have already manually installed my ssd) from 16gb (2 x 8gb 2133 mhz) to 32gb due to not having enough RAM for the programs I run.

My question is will it be better for me to get two individual sticks of 16 gb (such as this 2666 mhz model at $100 each http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232168) or the Memory Kit of 32 gb for the same model and speed ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232169) but its $5 more total, $200 versus $205. I don't plan on overclocking, just want to install them and not worry about them (albeit i like the speed upgrade these new sticks will have), so is there any reason i shouldn't buy the individual sticks and save money? Should i spend $5 more to be "safer" or whatever that i have a product that works well together?

Any help greatly appreciated!

 

In rare cases, matched sets are necessary because the system doesn't accept certain RAM modules. However, in general, buying matched sets of memory modules isn't necessary. Still, for a $5 premium on a $200 purchase, I'd go with the matched set. As the price difference is small, even a theoretical advantage would be worth buying.

 

Ok i just got 2 single sticks of the fastest laptop memory (16gb x2= 32gb 2800 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232189) at only $110 each ($220) due to a discount, AND i had a whopping 15% promo code from newegg, so it only cost me $187 total. Really hoping that i don't get a faulty stick or some other compatibility problems ( i did open a thread to see if it would work on my new Gaming Laptop just in case, and the response seemed to imply it would), but will update this post to answer if it was worthwhile getting individual memory sticks over the kit to save $ (albeit in this case the kit for the fastest module i got, 2800 PC4 22400 was out of stock or i would have gone for it since it was the same price at $220 after a discount and before the promo code).

 

Ok turned out to be a decent purchase and works fine, even as individual sticks instead of the memory kit (So likely better to get individual sticks if cheaper and on a budget). That being said in this case getting the fastest memory (2800mhz) may not have been wise, since it seems like my Gaming Laptop is bottlenecking the memory down to only 2400 mhz, as seen here. I guess if i knew how to activate the "Extreme Memory Profile" to access the full 2800 mhz that would be cool, but i'd have to figure out how to do that, and if may laptop is able to.
